Abstract

See full text

A hybrid vehicle determines whether or not the drive mode thereof is shifted from a series drive to an engine direct coupled drive with a power transmission engaging/disengaging portion applied, derives a rotational speed at a drive wheel side of the power transmission engaging/disengaging portion which corresponds to a driving speed as an applying rotational speed of an internal combustion engine at which the power transmission engaging/disengaging portion is applied, and applies the power transmission engaging/disengaging portion by controlling the operation of the internal combustion engine when a difference in rotational speed between the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine and the applying rotational speed becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined value after the shift to the engine direct coupled drive is determined.
